During a lull in festivities recently, a song came on the jukebox by a singer called Brandi Carlile. Can't remember much about the song, really, but the voice was fairly exquisite, and when I can be arsed, I will get around to listening properly.

Not sure how I found it, maybe BTL in one of those album of the year articles, but I have been listening solely to Ulver's album The Assassination of Julius Caesar over the last three days, when I have had time to listen to music.

They are most definitely not prog/drone on this album. Andy Gill called it "morbid electropop" which seems to hit the nail.
